Vin Diesel's RIDDICK: FURYA Gets The Official Greenlight and We Have Story Details

Vin Diesel and director David Twohy have been working on their fourth Riddick film for years. It’s titled Riddick: Furya and it’s officially been given the greenlight. Diesel has been planning to return to the role of Riddick and Twohy, who wrote the script, will be back to direct.

This is all stuff that we’ve known was going to happen! Diesel has been keeping fan updated on the project over the years. But, now we actually have some story details to share! The official description reads:

Furya finds Riddick finally returning to his homeworld, a place he barely remembers and one he fears might be left in ruins by the Necromongers. But there he finds other Furyans fighting for their existence against a new enemy. And some of these Furyans are more like Riddick than he could have ever imagined.

Diesel previously shared the tagline for the movie, which is: “Everyone wants to be a beast, until it’s time to do what real beasts do."

Twohy said in a statement: “Our legion of fans have demanded it for years, and now we’re finally ready to honor their call-to-action with Riddick: Furya. My collaboration with Vin and One Race has spanned 20 fruitful years, as together we’ve created three movies, two video games, an anime production, and motion comics for the internet. This new big-screen event will see a return to Riddick’s homeworld, where we finally get to explore Riddick’s genesis.”

As you might imagine, Diesel has been incredibly busy lately with the Fast and Furious franchise, but once he’s done wrapping up that, he’s going to jump back into the Riddick universe!
